1. Scope The host communication format in this document is applied to the communication between the host computer and the XS series (hereinafter called “XS”) via the RS-232C serial communication and TCP/ IP communication.

2. General The XS can be connected to the host computer using the serial port or the LAN port in the rear panel of the IPU (Information Processing Unit). It will become possible to output the analysis results including the IP messages to the host computer and to inquire the analysis order to the host computer.

3. Terminology The definition of the terminology used in this document is described in the following.

1) Numeric:

Indicates ASCII codes ‘0’ (30h) through ‘9’ (39h). 2) Alphabet:

Indicates ASCII codes ‘A’ (41h) through ‘Z’ (5Ah) and ‘a’ (61h) through ‘z’ (7Ah). 3) Alpha-numeric:

Indicates numerical or alphabetical character.


4. Analysis Result Output Specifications

4.1 Serial Communication (RS-232C)

4.1.1 Hardware Specifications

(1) Connector

Connect the RS-232C cable to the host output connector on the rear panel of the IPU (an AT-compatible personal computer).

A 9-pin D-Sub male connector is used in the IPU for the serial port for the host computer. Thus, the cable side should be 9-pin D-Sub female connector.

Fixture screws are the inch-size and inch pitch screws.

4.1.2 Software Specifications

(1) Setting Communication Parameters

The transmission format is the half-duplex asynchronous communication, and following communication parameters can be set.

Table 3: Communication parameters

Parameter Set Value

Baud Rate (bps) 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, *9600, 14400, 19200, 38400 (bps)

Data Length 7 bits, *8 bits

Stop Bit *1 bit, 2-bits

Parity *None, Even, Odd

Class Class A, *Class B

Interval 0, 1, *2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 (seconds)

Note*: Unless otherwise specified, the parameters marked by bold, underlined, and asterisk marks (*) are selected as factory defaults.

(2) Exchaniging Code and Text Format

Code used to exchange the information is all ASCII codes.

Figure 1: Text Format

“STX” (02H) is sent at the beginning of data, and “ETX” (03H) is sent at the end of data.


(3) Transmission Protocol There are two transmission protocols, and one of them can be selected depending on the

system usage. • Class A This is unidirectional transmission which does not utilize responses from the host computer.

• Class B Two way communication which requires acknowledgement response ACK (06H) or NAK (15H) from the host computer. The factory default setting is Class B.

[XS] [Host Computer]

Data of one text is sent. Transmission is complete, and the next text is sent. Repeat transmission a maximum of 3 times. If NAK is received in the third time, an error message is displayed.

Data is received. If no error, ACK (06H) is sent. If error, NAK (15H) is sent.

Figure 2: Transmission Protocol


(4) Transmission errors

If an error occurs during transmission, transmission is interrupted and an error message is displayed on the IPU screen. Recovery of transmission is performed by the operator’s input. A transmission error occurs in the following cases.

Table 4: Treatment of the Transmission Errors

Cause Error Message Description Treatment

Transmission Error “Communication time-out with host computer has occurred.”

When data is received, data contains one of the errors; Frame Error, Parity Error, Over-run Error.

Terminate transmission

Off-line “DSR is off.” The host computer does not make the control signal DSR active.


Response Time Out “Communication time-out with host computer has occurred.”

The host computer does not respond within 30 seconds after data is sent. (Class B only)


(Re-transmission) “Retry error has occurred.” The host computer sends NAK after data is sent. (Class B only)

Re-send

Response Code Error

“ACK / NAK receive has failed.”

The host computer sends anything other than [ACK] or [NAK] after data is sent. (Class B only)


Retry Over “Send data to host computer has failed. (serial port).”

The host computer sends fourth response anything other than [ACK] after data is sent. (Class B only)


STX Time Out “Communication time-out with host computer has occurred.”

1) STX is not received within 30 seconds after requesting to send text. (Class A only)

2) STX is not received within 30 seconds after requesting to send text and ACK is received. (Class B only)

3) STX of the following sub-text is not received within 30 seconds after the previous sub-text was received. (Class A only)

4) STX of the following sub-text is not received within 30 seconds after the previous sub-text was received and ACK was sent. (Class B only)


ETX Time Out “Communication time-out with host computer has occurred.”

ETX is not received within 30 seconds after STX is received.


(5) Transmission timing

By setting in the IPU, it is possible to select an automatic transmission each time the analysis is complete, or in a batch transmission from the stored data. The interval of the data transmission can also be set from 0 second.

(6) Transmission Interval

Data transmission interval can be set by the IPU. The interval is defined in the Class B as the time after sending ACK or NAK response until initiating transmission of the next data.


4.2 TCP/ IP Communication


Network interface layer is described, as follows.

The network interface conforms to IEEE802.3. Communication is performed by 10Base-T. The RJ45 socket is used as a hub for XS connection. The cable of UTP category 5 should be used for communication.


(1) Data Link/ Network/ Transport Layers

These are based on the TCP/ IP Protocol. The IP address of XS can be assigned manually (static). This value may be changed, and set

anything other than 192.168.28.150, and 192.168.28.151 which are assigned to the IPU and the Main Unit.

The TCP port number for XS host communication can be assigned manually (static). The default value is 6000. This value may be changed in the IPU setting screen.

(2) Session Layer

Connection is established with the host computer as a server and the XS as a client. The connection is established when the XS is started up. If connection is failed, the XS retries to establish connection in a certain interval. When the server becomes down after once the connection was established, no retry is performed.

(3) Presentation Layer

[STX] (02H) is sent at the beginning of data, and [ETX] (03H) is sent at the end of data.

Note: In the presentation layer, any definitive response protocol such as ACK and NAK is not performed.

Figure 3: Text Format


(4) Transmission Error Treatment

If an error occurs during transmission, transmission is interrupted and an error message is displayed on the IPU screen. Recovery of transmission is performed by the operator’s input. A transmission error occurs in the following cases.


Cause Error Message Description Treatment Socket Error “TCP/ IP connection with host

computer has failed.” TCP/ IP communication error was occurred due to cable cut or any other cause.


Time Out Error “Communication time-out with host computer has occurred.”

STX of the following text is not received within 30 seconds after the previous text was received.


(5) Transmission Timing

By setting in the IPU, it is possible to select an automatic transmission each time the analysis is complete, or in a batch transmission from the stored data.


4.3 Data Format

4.3.1 General

The host computer output format is consisted of the Analysis Data Format and the QC (Quality Control) Data Format, which have different text length and contents. These two formats are distinguished by the “Text Distinction Code”. The Analysis Data Format is used to output the patient analysis data, and the Text Distinction

Code 1 is always ‘D’. The Text Distinction Code 2 is usually ‘1’. However, when the text length exceeds 255 bytes,

the text is split into 2 or more blocks and the contents in the Text Distinction Code 2 indicate the order of the blocks. The [ETB] code is not used.

The Sample Distinction Code for the Analysis Data Format is ‘U’, and that for the QC Data Format is ‘C’.

The Sample Distinction Code for the QC Data Format is only ‘C’ when sent manually from the control diagram. When sent automatically, the Code is ‘U’

The QC Data Format is used to output the QC data. This data can be output by specifying the data range with cursors using the QC menu in the IPU.

4.3.2 Error Treatment when receiving text

When the text contents have an error or abnormality, transmission is interrupted and an error message is displayed on the IPU screen. Recovery of transmission is performed by the operator’s input. A transmission error occurs in the following case.


Cause Error Message Description Treatment STX Error “STX receive has failed.” When a text is received, the heading of text is

any other character than STX. Terminate transmission

ETX Error “ETX receive has failed.” When a text is received, the end of text is any other character than ETX.



4.4 Analysis Data Format (1) Order of Transmission The order of transmission is from the top parameter to the bottom. The data sent is the

most significant digit first and the least significant digit last. (2) Decimal Point Decimal point is not sent. Therefore, it is necessary to convert and add decimal point

specified for each parameter at the host computer. (3) Date Format The date format is fixed in the order of year, month and day. If the number of digits is

short, zero-padding is performed. (4) Rack No. This is the number assigned to a sample rack, and consists of 6-digit number. If the

number of digits is short, zero-padding is performed. However, in case that Analysis mode is other than the Sampler mode, it is reported as all spaces (“ ” 20h).

(5) Tube Position No.

This indicates the position “01” through “10” within the rack. If the number of digits is short, zero-padding is performed. However, in case that Analysis mode is other than the Sampler mode, it is reported as “00”.

(6) Sequence No. This indicates the sequence number of the sample analyzed on the same day, and consists

of 10-digit number. If the number of digits is short, zero-padding is performed. (7) Sample ID No. The Sample ID No. consists of 15-digit alpha-numeric which may include a hyphen “-”

(2Dh) between digits depending on the usage. A hyphen “-” is included in 15 digits. If the number of digits is short, space-padding is performed. (Zero-padding may be performed depending on the setting.

(8) Structure of Numerical Value and Flag The numerical value and flag are structured as shown below. If the number of digits is

short, zero-padding is performed. Any parameter indicating “Reserved” will transmit all zeros “0”.

Details of Flag

‘0’: Normal ‘1’: Data is greater than the upper patient mark limit. ‘2’: Data is less than the lower patient mark limit. ‘3’: Data is out of the linearity limit. ‘4’: Data has less reliable due to the flags.


(9) Abnormal Numerical Data When the displayed numerical value is “----” or “++++”, the data is output as “*0000”. Any parameter that is not ordered is output as “ ” (all spaces). (10) Instrument ID This instrument ID is a unique nick name for the analyzer. This is consisted of 16-digit

alpha-numeric, and is useful if multiple analyzers are running and transmitting the data to the host computer. If the number of digits is short, right-aligned and space-padding are performed.

5. Data Exchange Specifications on the Analysis Information XS has a function to receive the analysis information such as analysis order and patient information from the host computer, and to analyze automatically according to the received information. There are two methods to inquire the analysis information to the host computer, as follows. A real-time inquiry is made right before the analysis using the Sample ID No. read from the bar code

label as the keyword. A batch inquiry is made in prior to the analysis using the Rack No. and the Tube Position No. as the

keywords. Settings are required to inquire the analysis information, as follows. Analysis ordering Key Sample ID Rack No. /Tube Pos. Realtime Request (Manual Mode) [Sample ID] Realtime Request (Sampler Mode) [Key]


5.1 Serial Communication (RS-232C)


This is the same as described in “4.1 Serial Communication (RS-232C)” in this document.


(1) Settings Communication Parameters This is the same as described in “4.1 Serial Communication (RS-232C)” in this document.

(2) Exchanging Code and Text Format

Exchanging Code This is the same as described in “4.1 Serial Communication (RS-232C)” in this document.

Exchanging Text Format This is the same as described in “4.1 Serial Communication (RS-232C)” in this document.

(3) Transmission Protocol

Transmission protocol is fixed to Class B. If the transmission protocol is set to the Class A, correct communication cannot be performed and you have to set to Class B. The procedures that XS inquires the analysis information to the host computer is shown as follows.

XS sends the Analysis Inquiry Text to the host computer.

The host computer sends NAK if an error is detected in the received data, or ACK if no error is detected. Then, the host compter sends the Analysis Order Text for the inquired sample.

XS re-sends the same text if the response is NAK. When the XS receives ACK, XS then receives the Analysis Order Text and sends ACK if there is no error or NAK if there is an error.

The host computer terminates the communication of one sample if ACK is received. The host computer re-re-sends the Analysis Order Text if NAK is received.

[XS] [Host computer] Sends analysis order query text If an error does not occur, sends ACK (06H); otherwise sends NAK (15H).

If an error does not occur, sends ACK (06H); otherwise sends NAK (15H). Sends analysis order information for the queried sample (Resends if NAK; resends up to 3 times)

Fig. 4 Communication Procedure


(4) Treatment of the transmission errors

If an error occurs during transmission, transmission is interrupted and an error message is displayed on the IPU screen. Recovery of transmission is performed by the operator’s input. A transmission error occurs, as described in the Table 4.

(5) Inquiry Timing

In the Real-time Inquiry using the Sample ID No.;

The inquiry is made at the time when the Sample ID No. is read from the bar code label affixed on the tube by the bar code reader. However, if the XS has the Analysis Information, no inquiry is made. After sending the Analysis Inquiry Text to the host computer and receiving ACK from the host computer, the XS will wait until receiving the Analysis Order Text. After the Analysis Order Text is received, the XS starts aspirating the whole blood.

In the Batch Inquiry using the Rack No. and the Tube Position No.;

The inquiry is made at the time when the Rack No. is set in the IPU software, the Analysis Inquiry Text is sent to the host computer starting from the Tube Position No. 1 through 10 one after another. There is no limitation for the time after sending the inquiry text until receiving the Analysis Order Text.

(6) Transmission Interval

The interval time after XS receives the Analysis Order Text and sends ACK until the next Analysis Inquiry Text is sent out can be set using the XS IPU software. This interval time is common to the one for transmitting the analysis data.

(7) Notes when analysis data is auto output

When the XS is set to “AUTO OUTPUT”, it is suspected that the analysis data output and analysis information exchange are overlapped. If it is suspected that the host computer will be overlapped and the response will be delayed, it is suggested not to send the analysis data automatically but to send in a batch upon completion of the analysis.


5.2 TCP/ IP Communication

5.2.1 Hardware Specifications This is the same as described in “4.2 TCP/IP Communication” in this document.


This is the same as described in “4.2 TCP/IP Communication” in this document.

5.3 Data Format

5.3.1 General The host computer output format is consisted of the Analysis Data Format and the QC (Quality Control) Data Format, which have different text length and contents. These two formats are distinguished by the “Text Distinction Code”. • The Analysis Data Format is used to output the patient analysis data, and the Text Distinction

Code 1 is always ‘D’. • The Text Distinction Code 2 is usually ‘1’. However, when the text length exceeds 255 bytes,

the text is split into 2 or more blocks and the contents in the Text Distinction Code 2 indicate the order of the blocks. The [ETB] code is not used.

• The Sample Distinction Code for the Analysis Data Format is ‘U’, and that for the QC Data Format is ‘C’.

• The QC Data Format is used to output the QC data. This data can be output by specifying the data range with cursors using the QC menu in the IPU.

5.3.2 Error Treatment when receiving text

When the text contents have an error or abnormality, transmission is interrupted and an error message is displayed on the IPU screen. Recovery of transmission is performed by the operator’s input. A transmission error occurs in the following case.

Table 12: Treatment of the Transmission Errors Cause Error Message Description Treatment

STX Error “STX receive has failed.” When a text is received, the heading of the text is any other character than STX.


ETX Error “ETX receive has failed.” When a text is received, the end of the text is any other character than ETX.


Inquiry Key Check Error (Sample ID No.)

“Sample No. from host computer is invalid. Sample No. of Analyzer is used.”

When the inquiry key is the Sample ID No., this error occurs when the host computer returned the Sample ID No. that is different from the one inquired.


Inquiry Key Check Error (Rack No. & Tube Pos.)

“Rack No./ Tube position from host computer is invalid. Rack No./ Tube position of Analyzer is used.”

When the inquiry key is the Rack No. and the Tube Position No., this error occurs when the host computer returned the Rack No. and Tube Position No. that is different from the one inquired.



5.4 Analysis Order Inquiry Format The Text Distinction Code 1 is always ‘R’ in the Analysis Order Inquiry Format sent from the XS. (1) Order of Transmission The order of transmission is from the top parameter to the bottom. The data sent is the

most significant digit first. Zero-suppression is not performed. (2) Inquiry Mode The inquiry mode is indicated. ‘1’: Real-time inquiry by Sample ID No. as the key word. ‘2’: Batch inquiry by Rack No. and Tube Position No. as the key words.

Appendix B. Support Formats

XS supports the following data formats. Desired format can be set when the IPU software is to be installed for XS. For more detailed information about compatible formats other than XS, please refer to each Data Communication Specifications. When compatible formats other than XS is selected and if the number of digits is less than that required by the XS, following rules are applied. • Sample ID No.: The least significant digits are used, and the most significant digits that are

not fit will be discarded. • Data: The least significant digit is rounded off to make the digits fit to the specification. When a parameter that is not analyzed in the XS is defined in the compatible format other than XS, following rules are applied. • In case of K-1000, data field is filled by “*0000”. • In case of any other model than K-1000, the data field will be filled by either “_____” (all spaces) or “00000”depending on the setting. Since the XS has the QC parameters WBC-C and WBC-D, WBC-D is set to the WBC in the compatible data format in the other models than XS.
